- FIG. 3 shows a LED pixel driving circuit 300 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- the illustrated example embodiment includes a prime driver circuitry 305 and a plurality of sub driver circuitry 330 a - 330 d .
- Four sub drivers 330 a - 330 d are shown in FIG. 3 , but embodiments of the invention can include any practical number of sub drivers.
- the more sub drivers employed the more that the threshold variations are normalized and a more uniform display is achieved.
- the LED pixel driving circuit 300 includes a first prime driving transistor 21 with its gate connected to a select line 310 , its source connected to a voltage data line 320 , and its drain connected to a second prime driving transistor 22 .
- the select line is used in selecting a particular pixel driving circuit 300 and can be used to turn on the first prime driving transistor 21 .
- Turn on or switch on a transistor refers to applying the appropriate voltage to the gate of the transistor, including depending upon whether it is an N-channel or P-channel transistor, to cause current to flow between the source and the drain.
- the voltage data signal on the voltage data line 320 is transmitted from the source of the first prime driving transistor 21 to its drain, which is connected to the gate of second prime driving transistor 22 .
- This causes the second prime driving transistor 22 to turn on and generates a driving current through the second prime driving transistor 22 between its source and the drain. How hard the second prime driving transistor 22 turns on is based on the voltage data signal and can affect in which region the transistor operates and where within a region the transistor operates.

- Each of the drains of the sub driving transistors 25 - 28 are connected to the drain of the second prime driving transistor 22 , all of which are connected to the anode of the light emitting diode (LED) 24 .
- the sources of each of the sub driving transistors 25 - 28 are connected to the same voltage source, or power rail, as the source of the second prime driving transistor 22 , which is Vdd for this example embodiment.

- Other example embodiments can use N-channel transistors or a combination of P-channel and N-channel transistors and can use the appropriate voltage source for the sources and drains of the chosen transistors and for what voltages are applied to the gates of the design specific transistors.
- FIG. 3 also illustrates the capacitor 23 that is connected between the source of the second prime driving transistor 22 and the drain of the first prime driving transistor 21 .
- the capacitor 23 is used to store charge so that when the transistors are turned off the driving current can be provided to the LED 24 until the next refresh cycle.
- the sub driving transistors 25 - 28 are located in pixels that are neighbors of the pixel having the prime driving circuitry and LED 24 .
- Neighbor pixels can include pixels that are adjacent to the pixel with the prime driving circuitry and LED 24 or that are adjacent to one or more pixels having sub driving circuitry and are collectively adjacent to the pixel having the prime driving circuitry and LED 24 (e.g. a chain as shown in FIG. 3 where pixels 330 a and 330 b are neighbors of pixel 305 and so are pixels 330 c and 330 d ).
- FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of an LED pixel matrix in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- the example circuit layout utilizes a prime driver (such as 400 a - 400 e ) formed of a first and second prime driving transistors 21 , 22 , capacitor 23 , and LED 24 as described and shown in FIG. 3 .
- a prime driver such as 400 a - 400 e
- Each pixel also uses four sub drivers (for the pixel with prime driver 400 b , the sub drivers included with the pixel are neighbor pixels 420 a - 420 d ), which are laid out adjacent to the prime driver.
- the layout is skewed between pixels to account for the sub driver circuitry.
- the select lines 410 a - 410 c are routed so that they can gate the first prime driving transistors.
- the voltage data lines 415 a - 415 e are routed so that they are connected to the source of the first prime driving transistors.
- sub driver circuitry could be located within the space for the layout of an adjacent pixel or on another layer.
- FIG. 5 is a flow diagram illustrating an example embodiment of a method relating to LED pixel driving circuits in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.
- the layout area illustrated in FIG. 5 provides for (generates) a uniform illumination of LEDs/pixels on a display panel or other screen.

FIG. 3 shows a LEDpixel driving circuit 300 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown inFIG. 3 , the illustrated example embodiment includes aprime driver circuitry 305 and a plurality of sub driver circuitry 330 a-330 d. Four sub drivers 330 a-330 d are shown inFIG. 3 , but embodiments of the invention can include any practical number of sub drivers. Generally, the more sub drivers employed, the more that the threshold variations are normalized and a more uniform display is achieved. - The LED
pixel driving circuit 300 includes a firstprime driving transistor 21 with its gate connected to aselect line 310, its source connected to avoltage data line 320, and its drain connected to a secondprime driving transistor 22. When reference is made to connected, it is meant to refer broadly to any type of connection, including directly or indirectly, that allows for the electrical signal to be communicatively coupled. The select line is used in selecting a particularpixel driving circuit 300 and can be used to turn on the firstprime driving transistor 21. Turn on or switch on a transistor refers to applying the appropriate voltage to the gate of the transistor, including depending upon whether it is an N-channel or P-channel transistor, to cause current to flow between the source and the drain. - When the first
prime driving transistor 21 is turned on, the voltage data signal on thevoltage data line 320 is transmitted from the source of the firstprime driving transistor 21 to its drain, which is connected to the gate of secondprime driving transistor 22. This causes the secondprime driving transistor 22 to turn on and generates a driving current through the secondprime driving transistor 22 between its source and the drain. How hard the secondprime driving transistor 22 turns on is based on the voltage data signal and can affect in which region the transistor operates and where within a region the transistor operates. The source of the secondprime driving transistor 22 is connected to a voltage source, such as Vdd, and the drain of the secondprime driving transistor 22 is connected to the anode of a light emitting diode (LED) 24. The cathode of the light emitting diode (LED) 24 can be connected to a voltage source, such as Vss, or to ground depending on the design. The driving current causes theLED 24 to illuminate and provide light. - The drain of the first
prime driving transistor 21 also is connected to the gates of the sub driving transistors 25-28 of the sub drivers 330 a-330 d. Each of the drains of the sub driving transistors 25-28 are connected to the drain of the secondprime driving transistor 22, all of which are connected to the anode of the light emitting diode (LED) 24. The sources of each of the sub driving transistors 25-28 are connected to the same voltage source, or power rail, as the source of the secondprime driving transistor 22, which is Vdd for this example embodiment. Thus, when the voltage data signal gates the secondprime driving transistor 22 and the sub driving transistors 25-28, driving current is supplied to theLED 24 from each of the transistors and differences due to threshold variations are mitigated, and which compensates for the process variations of the secondprime driver transistor 22. - The example embodiment illustrated in
FIG. 3 uses P-channel transistors for the first and secondprime driving transistors -
FIG. 3 also illustrates the capacitor 23 that is connected between the source of the secondprime driving transistor 22 and the drain of the firstprime driving transistor 21. The capacitor 23 is used to store charge so that when the transistors are turned off the driving current can be provided to theLED 24 until the next refresh cycle. - For the example embodiment shown in
FIG. 3 , the sub driving transistors 25-28 are located in pixels that are neighbors of the pixel having the prime driving circuitry andLED 24. Neighbor pixels can include pixels that are adjacent to the pixel with the prime driving circuitry andLED 24 or that are adjacent to one or more pixels having sub driving circuitry and are collectively adjacent to the pixel having the prime driving circuitry and LED 24 (e.g. a chain as shown inFIG. 3 wherepixels pixel 305 and so arepixels -
FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of an LED pixel matrix in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. For each pixel, the example circuit layout utilizes a prime driver (such as 400 a-400 e) formed of a first and secondprime driving transistors LED 24 as described and shown inFIG. 3 . Each pixel also uses four sub drivers (for the pixel withprime driver 400 b, the sub drivers included with the pixel are neighbor pixels 420 a-420 d), which are laid out adjacent to the prime driver. The layout is skewed between pixels to account for the sub driver circuitry. The select lines 410 a-410 c are routed so that they can gate the first prime driving transistors. Similarly, the voltage data lines 415 a-415 e are routed so that they are connected to the source of the first prime driving transistors. Of course, a wide variety of layouts can be employed in accordance with the present disclosure. For example, sub driver circuitry could be located within the space for the layout of an adjacent pixel or on another layer. -
FIG. 5 is a flow diagram illustrating an example embodiment of a method relating to LED pixel driving circuits in accordance with embodiments of the present invention. The layout area illustrated inFIG. 5 provides for (generates) a uniform illumination of LEDs/pixels on a display panel or other screen. In accordance with this example method, first a select signal is received 510 at a first gate of a first prime driving transistor to turn on the first prime driving transistor. Then, a voltage data signal is transmitted 520 to a second gate of a second prime driving transistor and to each of a plurality of gates of a plurality of sub driving transistors when the first prime driving transistor is turned on by the select signal. The plurality of sub driving transistors also each have a drain which are connected to the second drain of the second prime driving transistor. This provides for the plurality of sub driving transistors to compensate for a threshold variation of the second prime driving transistor. A driving current is then generated 530 through the second prime driving transistor when the voltage data signal turns on the second prime driving transistor. The driving current is used to illuminate 540 a light emitting diode. - While this invention has been particularly shown and described with references to example embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention encompassed by the appended claims.
